I am using XMLWriter with PHP 5.1.4 and find that it doesn't behave as I
expect. I am under the impressing that until I call 'endElement', I
should be free to continue adding attributes to an opened element
regardless of whether I have already added elements or text below it.
Look at this sample code:
<?php
//--------------------------------------------------
// create an object to write to an in-memory buffer
$XML = new XMLWriter();
$XML->openMemory();
// start new element and add 1 attribute
$XML->startElement("a");
$XML->writeAttribute("href", "http://www.google.com";);
// add a text node
$XML->text("Google");
// add another attribute (DOES NOT WORK)
$XML->writeAttribute("target", "_blank");
// add more text
$XML->text(" Go There");
// end the element and output so we can see what we have
$XML->endElement();
print htmlspecialchars($XML->outputMemory());
//--------------------------------------------------
?>
output: <a href="http://www.google.com";>Google Go There</a>
If you notice, the 'target="_blank"' attribute was silently ignored.
However, if I move that statement above the ->text() method call, it
will work as expected. Is this a bug or a feature I don't know about?
